READALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

_,This refrigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. Donot allow children to climb,stand or hang

on the shelves in the refrigerator.They could damage the refrigerator and seriouslu injure

themselves.

Donot touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skinmay stick to these extremely coldsurfaces.

Donot store or use gasolineor other flammable

vapors and liquidsin the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Keepfingers out of the "pinch point" areas;

clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarilusmall.Becareful

closing doors when children are in the area.

_:,Inrefrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid

contact with the moving parts of the ejector

mechanism, or with the heating element that releasesthe cubes.Do not placefingers or hands

on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in. Unplugthe refrigerator before cleaning and making

repairs.

NOTE:Westrongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualifiedindividua!.

_,Setting either or both controlsto O(off} does not

remove power to the light circuit. Donot refreezefrozen foods which havethawed

completely.

Ai,DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous...evenif they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,please

follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leavethe shelves in place sothat children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to

product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

USEOF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safetg hazards under certain conditions, we stronglg recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However,if you must usean extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)

or a CSAcertified (in Canada),]-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

GEAppliunces.com

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under an_l circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safet_l, this appliance must be properlbt grounded.

Thepower cord of this appliance isequipped with a 3- prong (grounding)plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding)wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard from this

appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make surethe outlet isproperly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance andalso prevents

overloading housewiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight

out from the outlet. Repairor replaceimmediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not usea cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end. When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to rollover or damage the power cord.

Careand cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

Thedoor handles and trim. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with

a soft cloth. Do not usewax on the door handlesand trim.

Keepthe outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquiddish detergent.

Dry and polishwith a clean,soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towe!. These may leave a

residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,

bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and

weaken the paint finish.

Cleaning the Inside

Tohelp prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excessmoisture

out

of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches,lights or controls.

Usean appliance wax polishon the inside surface between the doors.

Usewarm water and baking soda solution- about a tablespoon (15ml)of bakingsoda to

a quart (1liter)of water.This both cleansand neutralizesodors. Rinseand wipe dry.

Thestainless steel panels and door handles.

Stainlesssteel (onsome models)can be cleaned with a commercially available

stainlesssteel cleaner.A spray-on stainless steel cleanerworks best.

Do not useappliance wax or polish on the stainlesssteel.

Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with

soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge,damp cloth or paper towel.

Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleumjelly to the door gaskets at

the hinge side.This helpskeepthe gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot

water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break.

Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Silver-accented plastic parts. Wash parts

with soapy water.Wipe clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.

Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners.

Trim kits and decorator panels. GEAppliances.com

For panel-required models

Read these instructions completelg and carefullg.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order pre-cut black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or you

can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4" (6 mm) thick

When installing wood panels lessthan 1/4" (6mm) thick, Sou need to create a filler panel,such as 1/8"

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. Ifyou are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. Thecombined thickness ofthe decorator or wood

panel and the filler panel should be 11/32" (8.7mm) with the panel itself being no largerthan 1/4" (6mm).

Panels1/4"thickorless

1/4" max

Thehandle and the top and bottom trim stand in front of the surface of the door,which requiresthat the filler

be smaller in length and width than the panel.Usethe guidelinesbelow and tape the filler onto the back of the panel.
